I asked the Dali Temple to investigate the daughter of the Cheng family in Jiangzhou. She is cunning and cunning. She is a big beetle in the country and should be punished.
These words did not make the ministers in the court feel anything.
No matter how shocking it is, it will be much less powerful the second time around.
What's more, the words about killing the daughter of the Cheng family in Jiangzhou have been said too much in just a few days.
There was also the matter about Feng Lin and Mrs. Cheng that the emperor summoned Han Chang yesterday. The news came out of the palace before he spent the night.
The scene at this time today was what everyone expected. Feng Lin's step forward was not what everyone expected. What everyone expected was what the emperor would decide.
The emperor's expression remained calm.
"Based on word of mouth alone, the crime should not be punished," he said.
"Then ask Dali Temple to investigate the crime." Feng Lin said immediately.
"The investigation revealed no name," the emperor said calmly.
The ministers standing below understood in their hearts that at least the emperor was still on Mrs. Cheng's side.
However, there was no trace of joy on Chen Shao's face.
The emperor's biased maintenance has always been unreliable and fickle, especially now that the emperor is weak-minded. He has become very clear over the past few decades.
Everyone thinks that he relied on the emperor's favor. If he really relied on the emperor's favor alone, could he still be here? If he couldn't bring tangible political achievements to the emperor, there would be a pile of impeachment memorials as high as one person every year.
It had already crushed him.
The reason why Mrs. Cheng is being attacked now is not because her foundation is unstable. What she can give the emperor is more illusory expectations, because the emperor is temporarily biased towards her.
Expectation has always been the most unreliable, and it is also a double-edged sword.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Chen Shao frowned and looked at Feng Lin, seeing that he was not afraid or flinched at all because of the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty, do you know why I have to expel this daughter of the Cheng family?" Feng Lin said.
The emperor would not answer such a conversation, and Feng Lin did not expect the emperor to answer. He raised his head and continued.
"Because I want to sue Cheng Dong, the father of Cheng's daughter in Jiangzhou."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court couldn't help but whisper, and the emperor frowned slightly.
Are you going to start climbing again?
Only Gao Lingbo and a few other people who knew the inside story showed a smile.
"It's a shame he hid it for so long before saying it." Gao Lingbo whispered to his colleagues beside him, "I'm even afraid that he will forget."
"Feng Zhongcheng's memory has always been very good," his colleague said in a low voice with a smile.
The two of them talked in low voices, and Feng Lin's voice continued to sound in their ears.
As Feng Lin narrated, the court fell silent, and Chen Shao's already ugly face became even more ugly, especially after seeing the emperor's face.
So that’s it.
Chen Shao said in his heart that he thought it was because Feng Lin came to Beijing and became so angry when he saw and heard about Mrs. Cheng, but he didn't expect the root cause to be here.
This is going to be bad.
"...Cheng Dong laughed proudly and did not shy away from promoting his daughter's name, her glory in front of the emperor, and her power in front of the people..."
"...At that time, Su Jingwen gathered around and called the emperor's guard to pour wine...The people were in confusion and looked around in admiration..."
"...the people were driven away, and they were angry at first. When they heard that he was the father of Mrs. Cheng, they immediately turned into joy, and even felt proud, and rushed to tell each other..."
After hearing more words, the faces of those present became even more exciting.
This Feng Lin, these words are so heart-breaking! This is to punish people to death!
Not to mention being kind, even strangers would not be so cruel.
No wonder he is called the Ghost Judge, he kills without blinking an eye.
Chen Shao's face was ashen. He looked up at the emperor on the throne and saw that his expression was getting worse and worse.
"It sounds like this is all Cheng Dong's fault. Why do you need to punish Mrs. Cheng? Can't you just impeach her father?" the emperor suddenly said.
"Your Majesty," Feng Linsurong said, "who gave his father the title, official rank, and title?"
Of course it is me, the emperor said in his heart.
"It was Mrs. Cheng who used her merits to force Your Majesty." Feng Lin continued.
That's right, the emperor said in his heart, that's right.
He didn't give it randomly for no reason. He recognized this and ignored the words "coercion" and "force" in Feng Lin's words, and didn't think it was inappropriate.
"Lord Zhongcheng, how can this be coercion?"
Chen Shao could no longer stand up and speak. If he allowed Feng Lin to cut off every word like a knife, the emperor would have murderous intentions towards Mrs. Cheng without waiting for Dali Temple to inquire.
"Impunity for meritorious service is the same as impunity for guilt! Do you want His Majesty to keep his rewards and punishments unclear?"
"Because Mrs. Cheng's heart is not right, her merits are sins." Feng Lin turned to look at him and raised his eyebrows and said, "To redress the grievances of my sworn brother, my heart is not right, and to offer my god's arm and bow to His Majesty, my heart is not right. Let's look at now.
His father has not yet entered the capital, but he is already showing off without fear. He is only proud of his daughter and regards the gift from the emperor as a deserved one."
good!
Gao Lingbo applauded in his heart. If he were not in the court, he would have applauded Feng Lin.
As expected, he is worthy of being a ghost judge, every word kills.
"Feng Lin, you are making wild assumptions!" Chen Shao also raised his eyebrows and said.
"Chen Shao, let me continue to speculate wildly. You are so enthusiastic about defending the Cheng family. You should be mistreating your friends and treating the country as your own!" Feng Lin stepped forward and shouted.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shao's expression suddenly changed.
good!
Gao Lingbo shouted again in his heart, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. This Feng Lin was not stupid. He clearly knew where the emperor's weakness was, and every word touched his heart.
Let me first talk about the woman who threatened His Majesty and provoked His Majesty's past dissatisfaction that he had suppressed.
Then another hammer was struck at Chen Shao, and he abused his friends. This crime was neither a small one nor a big one.
All the officials in the world belong to the emperor, and only the emperor can give him glory, wealth, and a bright future. What the emperor cannot tolerate most is for his ministers to turn their court into a small family where they give and receive privately.
Although this kind of thing is inevitable, and the interactions between courtiers and officials cannot avoid the support of relatives and friends, and the help of classmates and masters, but this is all done in private, you know it and I know it, but it must not be said openly.
If you dare to bring it to light, the emperor will not tolerate you first.
Okay! Feng Lin, okay!
Bite hard!
If you can drive Mrs. Cheng and Chen Shao out at once this time, I, Gao Lingbo, will ensure that you stay in the capital for three more years.
It would be a shame to let such a good dog out.
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Feng Lin for slandering and framing the minister." Chen Shao was furious and saluted the emperor and shouted.
Facing impeachment accusations, Chen Shao would not resign in protest, he would definitely refute it on the spot.
The emperor smiled.
"Master Zhongcheng also said that it is just speculation and cannot be taken seriously," he said.
"I want to sue Feng Lin for blasphemy." Chen Shao refused.
"Zhongcheng, you have lost your manners." The emperor looked at Feng Lin again and said.
"This is my duty, and I have not violated my etiquette." Feng Lin did not bow his head.
The two ministers had a fight in the court, neither of them gave the emperor face, and the emperor didn't mind. Anyway, this was not the first time that ministers had refused to give him face.
"I ordered the Yushitai to investigate Cheng Dong's matter." The emperor had no choice but to change the subject.
"First ask Dali Temple to investigate the crime of Cheng's daughter." Feng Lin immediately followed.
"It is the fault of a son not to teach his father. I have never heard of a fault of a father not teaching his son." Chen Shao said coldly.
"If it weren't for the Cheng daughter who was the first to fool the public, why would Cheng Dong be so arrogant and arrogant?" Feng Lin also said coldly, "It's like if you, Chen Shao, weren't in Zhongshu, how could your father have done it?
Buy two private houses in the middle of Beijing."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Gao Lingbo almost fainted, so happy.
Apart from a good word, I couldn't say anything else in my heart.
Chen Shao, who had always been upright, was shaking with anger after hearing these words. Just when people on both sides were worried that he would faint, Chen Shao calmed down again. He walked to the center of the hall, lifted up his clothes and knelt down.
"I am useless and have no contribution to the affairs of the court. I cannot share your Majesty's worries. This is disloyal. I have gone out to study since I was thirteen, and became an official at twenty-seven. I have wasted half my life. I have not fulfilled my filial piety to my parents. Now I am causing my father to suffer."
Humiliation is for being unfilial." Chen Shao said, saluting and kowtowing, "I am unfaithful, unfilial, and shameless in the court. I will resign and make way for a more capable person. I will retire at home to support my old father."
Chen Shao resigned again!
Chen Shao resigned again!
At this moment, not only Gao Lingbo was shouting in his heart, but everyone in the court was shouting in their hearts, and even the emperor was stunned.
In just a short period of time, I have heard Chen Shao resign twice.
Sure enough, once you try this trick once, you will become addicted, and Chen Shao, who prides himself on being honest, is no exception.
Of course, everyone knew in their hearts that this resignation was not a resignation, but an accusation, forcing the emperor to express his attitude.
Feng Lin humiliated himself like this, so there can only be one person above the court.
If Feng Lin doesn't leave, I will leave and I will stay. Feng Lin must leave.
He was obviously just talking about the daughter of the Cheng family in Jiangzhou, so why did he become a dignified prime minister and want to resign?
The emperor felt his brows twitching and had a faint headache.
Therefore, we must deal with these imperial censors in a swift and chaotic manner, otherwise we don’t know what will happen in the end!
This Feng Lin is really... very powerful. He has only been here three or four days, and he even found Chen Shao's father's private residence.
Cough, the emperor coughed slightly in his heart and thought about where he went.
"Chen Qing's words are serious. Neither the country nor the family can do without you. I will not agree to your resignation." He said, and then looked at Feng Lin, "Feng Zhongcheng made unreasonable remarks and violated etiquette. He will be fined three months' salary. He will be punished for his crime."
Argument."
With such a commotion, the court meeting could no longer go on, and the emperor hastily announced his withdrawal from the court.
"Your Majesty, please also decide on the daughter of the Cheng family." Feng Lin stopped the emperor who was about to retire and said, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
It seems that if I don't make a decision today, I won't be able to return to the palace.
They are all daughters of the Cheng family.
There is no peace of mind all day long.
"False words cannot be punished," the emperor said.
Feng Lin tightened his lips and raised his eyebrows. Before he could speak, the emperor continued to speak.
"The verification at Dali Temple is pending." He said.
Done!
Gao Lingbo, who was bowing to send off the emperor in the palace, gently touched his palms, with a smile on his face, and raised his head to look at Feng Lin, who was paying off to the emperor.
Well done! I'll toast you with a drink when you get back.
He turned to look at Chen Shao again.
Chen Shao, who had always walked calmly, now walked in a hurry, walking out of the palace in two or three steps, ignoring anyone's greetings.
It's a pity that the emperor has not given up on Chen Shao yet. Even if he writes a resignation letter, the emperor will still send letters of condolences and condolences. After repeated insistence, Feng Lin will definitely be released, and Chen Shao will stand up again.
In the court hall.
But there are one, two, three, and four. If there are too many resignations like this, the emperor will always get used to it and will always become impatient.
Gratitude will gradually dissipate and be forgotten, and righteousness will gradually be tempered and strengthened. Things like feelings are the thinnest and most unreliable.
Gao Lingbo stood up straight and shook his sleeves.
The start of today's court meeting was expected, but the result was unexpected.
A Feng Lin bit a fairy disciple, Jiangzhou Chengshi, and knocked down a Chen Xianggong. Being a censor to this point is considered worthwhile.
"It seems that ghosts are still hard to bully." He said with a slight smile. (To be continued)
